Found this quite interesting today. For many many years every championship game required an assessor in the stands but for the first time they don't have them so the referees do what they want!! I am quite surprised when this is a big league with teams coming up and down as well as referees getting promoted from this league. Previous seasons you would often see if a referee had a shocker they wouldn't referee in the championship the following week because someone was there to assess them!! So the referee who sent Bowyer off last week will be fine!!! Funny that Keith Hackett mentioned about other championship referees not being interested in time wasting!!! Happens every week
